b-b-b-bump!
Can't be done as I understand it...
Chroming is a dip process, i.e. the object to be plated is submerged in a solution and an electric current is applied to the metal... the current attracts the metal to the frame and bonds it on. As far as I know, there is no way of just plating the lugs... I don't know how they do it...
Anyway, the reason I bumped this thread, I am about to buy a set of cranks and chainring on the bay, I was thinking of re-chroming... I'm not sure the ring needs it, but I might get it done anyway. Will the process weaken or damage the parts, or, is it like repainting?
